Give Me Wings
Give Me Wings
Composer(s): Rhonda Fleming; Don Schlitz
Performer(s): Michael Johnson;
Highstrung; Don Schlitz
Oh Elaine, you've broken my dreams
It's not as it seemed before
I can see it don't mean to you
What it could mean to me
Been a long time, as the road winds
I'm sideways, in a great haze
I turn, turn ... the page
Oh Elaine, I'm going insane
It's cold and the rain won't do
I'm told I must make this turn
I guess it won't be with you
Chorus
So long, I bid you farewell
I wish you the best, you know
Oh Elaine, if you change your mind
It's me you can find again
Turn, turn ... the page

Take This Town
Take This Town
Composer(s): Andy Partridge - Brian Howe - Terry Thomas
Performer(s): Bad Company; XTC
Living in a rabbit tunnel
Keep the doggie in her kennel
Mustn't let her see the world
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Living under Mum and Daddy
Carry hope just like a caddie
Mustn't let them see you're killed
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Shout it clear for all to hear
You won't shoot this bird down
Shout it clear for all to hear
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
Turn a deaf ear to the orders
Keep them as your perfect daughters
Mustn't let them know their minds
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Turning on to only music
Breaking from their childhood attic
Mustn't let them open the blinds
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Oh, no! Don't treat her like that
Shout it clear for all to hear
You won't shoot this bird down
Shout it clear for all to hear
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
We're going to take this town
It's time she stopped being your ornament
It's time she put that in the past for permanent
You can't hold her if she wants to roam around around around around around
You can't hold her dream and keep it gagged and bound, gagged and bound
We're going
We're going to
We're going to take
We're going to take this
We're going to take this
We're going to take this
We're going to take this
We're going to take this
We're going to take this

Movie Queen
Movie Queen
Composer(s): Paul Kelly
Performer(s): Bill Anderson
This is a song about a girl from the bayou
down in Louisiana country
The story simply says
She left home at sixteen said she was gonna be a movie queen
Said her hometown was just too small and she had roaches and rats wall to wall
So without a bag of beans she made a change of scenes
Hitched a ride up to New Orleans
With just the clothes on her back and a little brown sack
Said hello to the city where she would learn to act
Gonna be a movie queen gonna be on the big wide screen
Fancy clothes and diamond rings have all the better things
She took a part time job at the Burger King
Went to school at night oh she was doin' her things
Then she started hangin' out with the evening crowd
Gettin' high acclaim before she knew it she was all strung out
She still had that dream of bein' a movie queen
So she decided she'd have to leave New Orleans
Hollywood bound but with her feet on the ground
When she got to the city she took a look around
Said gonna be a movie queen...
Oh but things didn't work out that way they found her dead in her room today
But in my mind I can hear her say I can still hear her say
Gonna be a movie queen...

Give Me The Simple Life
Give Me The Simple Life
Composer(s): Harry Ruby; Rube Bloom
Performer(s): Julie London
I don't believe in frettin' and grievin'
Why mess around with strife?
I never was cut out to step and strut out
Give me the simple life
Some find it pleasant dining on pheasant
Those things roll off my knife
Just serve me tomatoes; and mashed potatoes
Give me the simple life
A cottage small is all I'm after
Not one that's spacious and wide
A house that rings with joy and laughter
And the ones you love inside
Some like the high road, I like the low road
Free from the care and strife.
Sounds corny and seedy, but yes, indeed-y
Give me the simple life

Era Um Garoto Que Como Eu Amava Os Beatles E Os Rolling Stones
Era Um Garoto Que Como Eu Amava Os Beatles E Os Rolling Stones
((Adapted from: C'era Un Ragazzo Che Come Me Amava I Beatles E I Rolling Stones (Gianni Morandi) - 1966))
Composer(s): Mauro Lusini - Francesci Migliacci - Paulino Brancato Jr.
Performer(s): Os Incríveis - 1967
Era um garoto, que como eu
amava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones
Girava o mundo sempre a cantar
As coisas lindas da América
Não era belo mas mesmo assim
Havia mil garotas, sim
Cantava "Help" and "Ticket to ride"
Oh! "Lady Jane" and "Yesterday"
Cantava viva a liberdade
Mas uma carta sem esperar
Da sua guitarra o separou
Fora chamado na América
Stop! com Rolling Stones
Stop! com Beatles songs
Mandado foi ao Vietnã
Brigar com vietcongs
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Era um garoto, que como eu
amava os Beatles e os Rolling Stones
Girava o mundo mas acabou
Fazendo a guerra no Vietnã
Cabelos longos não usa mais
Não toca a sua guitarra e sim
Um instrumento que sempre dá
A mesma nota ratá-tatá
Não tem amigos
Nem mais garotas
Só gente morta caindo ao chão
Ao seu país não voltará
Pois está morto no Vietnã
Stop! com Rolling Stones
Stop! com Beatles songs
No peito coração não há
Mas duas medalhas sim
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Tatá-ratatá, tatá-ratatá
Ratá-tatá-tatá
Ratá-tatá-tatá

Now let me take you to the movies Magg
so I can hold your hand
Well it ain't that I don't like your house

And that double barrel behind the door it waits for Carl I know
So climb upon ol' Becky's back and let's ride to the picture show
I only see her once the week and that's when my work is through
I break new ground the whole week long with my mind set straight on you
I've polished up my ol' horse Becky and she looks good I know
So climb upon ol' Becky's back and let's ride to the picture show
Now won’t you let me take you to the show so I can hold your hand
Well it ain't that I don't like your house it's just that doggone man

So climb upon ol' Becky's back and let's ride to the picture show
Well I break new ground a whole week long with my mind set straight on you
And every time I tried to smile my heartaches breaks in two
O I slicked myself on Saturday night ‘cause there's one thing I know
I’m gonna take my Maggie dear to the Western picture show
Now won’t you let me take you to the show so I can hold your hand
Well it ain't that I don't like your house it's just that doggone man
And that double barrel behind the door it waits for me I know
So climb upon ol' Becky's back and let's ride to the picture show

Give Me The Night
Give Me The Night
Composer(s): Rod Temperton
Performer(s): George Benson;
and various other artists
Whenever dark has fallen
you know the spirit of the party
starts to come alive
Until the day is dawning
you can throw out all your blues
and hit the city lights
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so gimme the night
Gimme the night
You need the evening action
a place to dine, a glass of wine
a little late romance
It's a chain reaction
You'll see the people of the world
coming out to dance
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
so gimme the night
Gimme the night
So come on out tonight
and we'll lead the others
on a ride through paradise
And if you feel all right
then we can be lovers 'cause I see that
starlight look in your eyes
Don't you know we can fly?
Just gimme the night
Gimme the night
And if we stay together
we'll feel the rhythm of the evening
taking us up high
Never mind the weather
We'll be dancing in the street
until the morning light
'Cause there's music in the air
and lots of loving everywhere
So gimme the night
Gimme the night...

Take This Rain
Take This Rain
Composer(s): Jackson Brown
Performer(s): Jackson Brown
It used to be there were two sets of footprints in the sand
And there were two silhouettes in the sunset hand in hand
But now here beside the sea are the footprints of three
And I can’t find my own
Among the directions they’re all going
Baby it’s alright
Break this chain of love and madness
It’s alright
Take this rain as your new address
It’s alright
Take this rain
It’s alright
Take this rain
’Cause I’ve been running all over creation out of my mind
Trying to keep our hearts beating together all of the time
Going crazier every day
Watching our love slipping away
’Cause you’re the only home I’ve ever wanted
And the only light I’ve known
But baby it’s alright
Break this chain of love and madness
It’s alright
Take this rain as your new address
It’s alright
Take this rain
It’s alright
Take this rain
You’re going to be free
Some people go through life seeing just what they want to see
Take the way I went on believing
You might still believe in me
And I still want the love I always thought our love could be
But some things can’t be changed
Take this rain
You’re going to hear my voice in the morning calling your name
And know my love and my desperation were one and the same
And where our footprints used to be
There’ll be nothing but the sea
And the tide and the wind and the open sky
And the unbroken horizon
Baby it’s alright
Break this chain of love and madness
It’s alright
Take this pain and all this sadness
It’s alright
Make this rain into your fortress
It’s alright
Take this rain
It’s alright
Take this rain
It’s alright
Take this rain
You’re going to be free

Mover
Mover
Composer(s): Earl Montgomery
Performer(s): Jimmy C. Newman
Don't leave the door unlocked tonight
'Cause I ain't comin' home
I've got the urge to hit the road
I've been here much too long
I've got nothin' in the world to lose
Everything's to gain
Travelin' is what I want to do
And the Mover is my name
So come here baby, kiss me goodbye
Let me be on my way
I want to be in Mexico
Tomorrow or next day
I've got a compass in my mind
Showin' me where to roam
So tell my friends when you see 'em
That the Mover said "So long"
Texas, Kansas, Idaho is a waitin' for me
Alabama, Georgia, Minnesota and Tennessee
Hand me my hat, hand me my coat
And my extra pair of shoes
Gonna ride as far as my money goes
Then I'll use my walkin' shoes
So dry your tears, show a smile
I don't wanna see you cry
And I don't wanna hurt you baby of mine
But the Mover says "Goodbye"
Texas, Kansas, Idaho is a waitin' for me
Alabama, Georgia, Minnesota and Tennessee

Give me the moonlight
Give me the girl
And leave the rest to me

And mine she's gonna be
If there's anyone in doubt
And they'd like to try me out
Give me the moonlight
Give me the girl
And leave the rest to me
And leave the rest to me

Take This Job And Shove It
Take This Job And Shove It
Composer(s): David Allan Coe
Performer(s): David Allan Coe
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Well, I've been working in this factory
Pretty close to 15 years
I've seen some of my best friends women
Drownin' in a pool of tears
I've seen a lot of kinfolks dyin'
I had a lot of bills to pay
Lord, I'd give the shirt right often my back
If I had the guts to say, say what?
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman's done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
The foreman is a regular S.O.B.
And the night boss, he's a fool
He got himself a brand new flattop haircut
Lord, he really thinks that's cool
One of these days I'm gonna blow my top
And that's shockin', he's gonna pay it
Well I can't wait to see their faces
When I get the nerve to say, say what?
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
My woman done left and took all of the reasons
That I was workin' for
You better not try to stand in my way
When I'm walkin' out the door
Take this job and shove it
I ain't workin' here no more
Take this job and shove it

I went down to the meat rack tavern
And found myself a big ol' healthy girl
Now she was drinkin' alone
Aw what a waste of sin

Move with me move with me move with me darlin'

And that you just can't stand to sleep here alone...no more

Move with you darlin'
I wanna mess witcha mess witcha mess witcha
Mess witcha mind
Well now he finally walked in
And Lord that man filled up the doorway
Well he grabbed me by my throat
And he bounced me down the stairs
And Lord I swear, he broke every bone in my body
But it was worth every second that I was there
Cause she would whisper to me...
Move with me, move with me, move with me
Move with me darlin'
I'm gonna mess witcha, mess witcha, mess witcha
Mess witcha mind

You can have it, you can have it

(Take these chains from my heart and set me free)
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new, let me find a new love, too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Give my heart just a word of sympathy (sympathy)
Be as fair to my heart as you can be (you can be)
Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free
Take these chains from my heart and set me free (set me free)

Move Over Ms. L.
Composer(s): John Lennon
Originally performed by: Keith Moon
Covered by: John Lennon
One, two, a one, two, three, four
Well now the underground and overjoyed they come on just the same
Don't wanna get too real man, just wanna play the game
I guess ya knew it all along we were just singing in the rain
Can't get hipped to the down trip, the ship is sailing yet
And if it sinks, you know that all you really get is wet!
Move over Ms. L.
You know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L. you know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L.
Well now to err is something human and forgiving so divine
I'll forgive your trespasses, if you forgive me mine
Life's a deal, you knew it, when you signed the dotted line
They nail you to the paper, put a rope around your neck
And so we sing along, the boy stood on the burning deck!
Move over Ms. L.
You know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L. you know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L.
Well now momma poppa told me son you better watch your head
Your head is fulla snakes boy, you're better red than dead
They're starving back in China, that's what they always said!
Can't get head in the head shop, yer jeans are fulla crap
You're full of beans, you're in your teens, you lost your momma's road map!
Move over Ms. L.
You know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L. you know I wish you well
Move over Ms. L.

(Can I) Find The Right Words (To Say)
(Can I) Find The Right Words (To Say)
Composer(s): Jimmy Destri - Debbie Harry
Performer(s): Blondie
Look up the right words
The ones for today
And use them correctly
And mean what I say
Answer the questions
Crossword confession
Interrogation
I'm down, can we meet
Is it true, do you cheat?
How far can I go?
How much do you know?
What's the definition?
How much did she mention?
How much does she know?
Can I find the right words to say?
The right words are so hard to say
It's a challenger puzzle
From the magazine section
Across with the questions
Do the ethics of reference
One hundred twenty brain teasers to torment you
One hundred thoughts
I can't find the right words to say
My meaning's not quite getting through
The right words are so hard to say
Can I find the right words for you?
Let's not hedge our bets
'Cause the odds are dependent
Please listen instead
Now the whispers are ending
The point's misleading
As points often do
Can I find the right words for you?

Move Over Moon
Move Over Moon
Composer(s): Kate McGarrigle
Performer(s): Kate & Anna McGarrigle
My horoscope warns me don't talk to strangers
Talk dark and handsome or short bald and plain
My soothsayer says to sit tight
And wait for my stars to get rearranged
So don't talk to me
Don't bother me
I'm just waiting for my heavens to change
Move over Moon
Get out of Uranus
'cause this house is anxious
For the sun to come in
'cause it's on the rise
It's on the rise
It's time for my new day to begin
So move over Moon
I sit at my window
By the first light of dawn
Tapping on the glass
As I worry out loud
I'm waiting for a wind to blow
And break up this sinister cloud
Till the stillness and calm of the early morning snaps
With the screeching of tires and the honkin' of the horns
They're pushin' and shovin' downtown
God knows nerves are frayed and badly torn
Still don't talk to me, don't bother me
I don't know yet what aspect is formed
Here is my nickel and here is my dime
Go down to the corner and buy me the Times
And look it up, look it up
Tell me if my planets are all in a line
All in a line
Move Over Moon
Get out of Uranus
'cause this house is anxious for the Sun to come in
'cause it's on the rise, it's on the rise
It's time for my new day to begin
So Move over Moon
